LMP8358
Zero-Drift, Programmable Instrumentation Amplifier with
Diagnostics
General Description
Features
Typical Values unless otherwise noted, TA = 25°C
The LMP8358 is a precision programmable-gain instrumen-
tation amplifier in National's LMP® precision amplifier family.
Its gain can be programmed to 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, or
1000 through an SPI-compatible serial interface or through a
parallel interface. Alternatively, its gain can be set to an arbi-
trary value using two external resistors. The LMP8358 uses
patented techniques to measure and continuously correct its
input offset voltage, eliminating offset drift over time and tem-
perature and the effect of 1/f noise. Its ground-sensing CMOS
input features a high CMRR and low input bias currents. It is
capable of sensing differential input voltages in a common-
mode range that extends from 100mV below the negative
supply to 1.4V below the positive supply, making it an ideal
solution for interfacing with ground-referenced sensors, sup-
ply-referenced sensor bridges, and any other application re-
quiring precision and long-term stability. Additionally, the
LMP8358 includes fault detection circuitry to detect open and
shorted inputs and deteriorating connections to the signal
source. Other features that make the LMP8358 a versatile
solution for many applications are its rail-to-rail output, low
input voltage noise and high gain-bandwidth product.
